Support comes from:

THE DALLAS GUILD:
The Dallas Guild is a musical collaboration consisting of two band members; Scuta Salamanca and Chopper. In April 2004 they recorded a track called Men in White Coats which was used for the UK version of a television commercial for the Volkswagen Eos. They make music with analogue synthesizers and add to their music by playing old drum kits, acoustic guitars and rhythm boxes from the 1970s. They have recently just completed recording their debut album, which was mixed it with Paul Stacey (Black Crowes/Noisettes/Oasis/Fratellis).

HONEYCUBE:
Fast-paced and feisty, with the hooks to impress serious musos and the melodies to keep the floating fans happy. Honeycube clearly have a lot of talent and ideas they want to show off.

'Rocky stompers with a dirty fuzzy garage sound. Filled with experimental sounds, excellent anthemic choruses and energy, I dare you not to sing along to. This is a debut filled with promise' - A Kerry Ann Eustice review of Honeycube debut album.
